    May 6 2025
    Summary
    • 🍹 From Bartender to CEO: Zachary Beach left his jobs in bartending and personal training to join his father-in-law’s real estate business—despite having zero experience. Through implementation, mindset shifts, and persistence, Zachary now leads SmartRealEstateCoach.com, a 3x Inc 5000 company.
    • 🏡 Creative Financing Explained: Creative financing allows buyers to acquire real estate without banks, large down payments, or personal guarantees. Zach outlines strategies like subject-to deals, owner financing, and how creative financing solves both financial and real estate problems for sellers.
    • 📘 Real Estate On Your Terms: The company’s bestselling book explains the fundamentals of buying and selling on terms (a.k.a. creative financing). It includes case studies and is offered for free at wickedsmartbooks.com/jerome2.
    • 📞 Cold Calling to Communication Mastery: Zach began by cold calling expired listings. This taught him the essential skill of communicating with sellers—a foundation that drives success in creative real estate investing.

    3. Systems: Implementing long-term processes to build scalable wealth.

    • 📈 Adapting to Market Shifts: Zach notes a major uptick in referrals from agents and wholesalers due to rising interest rates and tighter buyer pools. Creative financing allows for deals even when traditional sales stall.
    • 🧠 Tailored Real Estate Strategy: Instead of generic advice, Zach emphasizes starting with the end goal and designing the most direct path to get there—often bypassing wholesaling or flipping to go directly into portfolio-building through terms.

  • "PUSH Past Fear: Why 'I Want It More Than I Fear It' is the Real Estate Mindset That Wins"
    Apr 29 2025
    Summary
    • 🎯 A Life-Changing Challenge Sparked a Career: David Radney shares how a church mastermind pushed him to confront fear and write a $1,000 accountability check—leading him to buy his first duplex within two weeks. That spark turned into a 20+ year real estate career.
    • 📞 The Power of Prospecting and Practice: David leads free weekly script practice sessions to help agents improve objection handling and confidence. He emphasizes that agents should practice with peers, not clients—"sweat in practice, so you don't bleed in war."
    • 🧠 Mindset Shift: List to Last: David highlights how listing gives agents time freedom and income control, allowing dual-career agents to transition into full-time professionals by prioritizing listings over buyer chaos.
    • 🎤 From Fearful to Fearless in Public Speaking: Overcoming a crippling fear of public speaking, David credits Toastmasters and life urgency with pushing him to master the stage. He now gets paid to do what once paralyzed him—proof that desire beats fear.
    • 📘 Book in Progress – “I Want It More Than I Fear It”: A title that reflects David’s life mantra, born from overcoming fear of public speaking, health struggles, and self-doubt. With support from Jerome Lewis, David is now pushing through and publishing.
    • 🚨 Health Scare Turned Wake-Up Call: Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, David received a blunt warning from his doctor: "Do you want the Reese's, or your feet?" That moment hit hard—reminding him that emotion drives action—and led to life-changing weight loss.
    • 🛠️ The PUSH Coaching Framework:
    • PUSH = Prospect Until Success Happens
    • The program trains agents to master listing presentations, internalize scripts, and close confidently—before ever prospecting.
    • Confidence is key. Most agents don’t fear rejection—they fear saying yes and not knowing what to do next.
    • 🔄 Real Coaching, Real Results: One success story involved a student who’d been on 10 listing appointments without success. After learning PUSH’s objection-handling script and implementing it, he secured a listing on the spot and broke through his slump.
    • ❤️ Embracing the Push: David shares that he both pushes others and allows others to push him. True growth comes from challenge, honesty, and being coachable—a trait he values in both students and sellers.

    Insights Based on Numbers
    • 20+ years in real estate, starting with a duplex and growing into coaching.
    • 10 unsuccessful appointments turned into a win after just 3 PUSH sessions.
    • 2 weekly free script practices (Wednesday evening & Friday morning).
    • Over 100 pounds lost after facing diabetes and choosing health.
    • 1 defining mantra: "I want it more than I fear it." - David Radney

  • ⚖️ From Foreclosure to Freedom: How to Navigate and Win With Mike Russell
    Apr 22 2025
    Summary
    • 🏠 From Real Estate Success to Rock Bottom: Michael Russell spent 30 years in real estate, owning a successful Century 21 franchise. He witnessed both booming markets and devastating downturns, losing everything—homes, business, marriage—during the 2008 crash.
    • 💔 The Emotional Toll of Foreclosures: Mike recalls handling thousands of foreclosures for banks like Fannie Mae and Bank of America. Witnessing over 200 physical lockouts left a lasting emotional impact, motivating him to shift toward compassionate solutions.
    • 🤝 Founding Hope for Hardship: Out of personal bankruptcy and deep regret, Mike founded Hope for Hardship—a nonprofit that helps homeowners avoid foreclosure. His mission: offer assistance with mortgage relief, application navigation, and negotiation with banks—completely free.
    • 📈 Understanding Foreclosure: Mike explains that foreclosure is the bank reclaiming property as collateral for unpaid debt. It begins with a “Soldier and Sailors” notice and escalates through public filings, legal proceedings, and eventual auction.
    • 📆 Timeline & Urgency: The process can unfold over 60-100+ days. But many delay action due to fear, denial, or misinformation. Mike emphasizes the first 45-day window after the initial notice is critical for intervention.
    • 🔍 Options to Avoid Foreclosure:
    • Reinstatement: Pay back all owed amounts at once (rarely feasible).
    • Loan Modification: Often not favorable due to today's higher interest rates.
    • Partial Claim Mortgage (for FHA loans): Outstanding balances are moved to a no-interest second mortgage, preserving the original low interest rate.
    • Short Sale: Selling for less than owed, now rare due to high market values.
    • ⚖️ Your Rights & Legal Protections:
    • Right to Cure Notice: Typically gives 90-120 days to fix the issue.
    • Federal Bankruptcy: Chapter 13 can pause foreclosure but comes with long-term risks.
    • Attorney General Support (in some states): Can delay auctions with proof of sale.
    • 📉 Why Bankruptcy Is a Last Resort: Mike shares from personal experience—filing bankruptcy led to a 7-year struggle. He urges exploring all other options before considering it.
    • 📞 Importance of Communication: Mike emphasizes: “The bank is not going to chase you—it’s your job to chase the bank.” Proactive contact can halt foreclosure and open up relief options.
    • 🛠️ How Hope for Hardship Helps:
    • Assists with preparing complete, bank-accepted assistance applications.
    • Maintains consistent 3-day follow-ups with lenders.
    • Helps clients keep homes, secure trial payment plans, or transition to better options.
    • 💬 Healing Through Helping: For Mike, helping others navigate foreclosure is both personal healing and purpose. His goal is to transform from being a “negative inflection point” in people's lives to becoming the reason for their fresh start.

    Insights Based on Numbers
    • 200+ lockouts witnessed: Deep emotional exposure to the pain of foreclosure.
    • 30-year career: Mike combines experience and empathy to guide clients.
    • 70%+ success rate: In helping clients stay in their homes through Hope for Hardship.
    • 2.875% mortgage example: Shows why saving low-interest loans is vital.
    • $190,000 in equity: One client who hadn’t paid in 3 years still cashed out thanks to appreciation.

  • 💼 Confidence to Close: How Tiffany Tucker Turns Fear into Fuel
    Apr 15 2025
    Summary
    • 🎙️ Meet Tiffany Tucker: Jerome Lewis introduces Tiffany Tucker—an associate broker in New Orleans and founder of Confidence to Close, a coaching program helping agents master outbound sales. Her mission is to help agents build confidence, especially in cold calling and closing.
    • ✂️ From Salon Owner to Real Estate Boss: Tiffany transitioned from an 18-year salon business to real estate just before COVID. Motivated by the desire to break income ceilings, she dove into real estate, inspired by her cousin’s license journey.
    • 💪 Fear as Fuel: Tiffany reframes fear as a tool to drive action. She teaches that confidence isn’t the absence of fear—it’s doing it anyway. Confidence comes from repetition and doing things despite discomfort.
    • 📞 Outbound Prospecting is Non-Negotiable: Tiffany believes cold calling is essential for real estate agents. Her method? Don’t overthink—just pick up the phone and dial. Outcome-based thinking kills momentum.
    • 🗣️ Selflessness in Sales: Tiffany calls out agents who avoid outreach as selfish, reminding them that even a new agent knows more than the general public. Holding back your expertise robs others of help.
    • 👩‍🦰 Women in Real Estate – Own Your Femininity: Tiffany started Women’s Wednesdays, a 7:00 AM meeting space where women are encouraged to pursue their goals without abandoning their femininity. She proudly embraces pink as a symbol of grace, strength, and ambition.
    • 💬 Graceful Directness: Tiffany teaches that being direct doesn’t mean being harsh. Tone and timing matter. When done right, directness builds trust, clarity, and confidence—in both the agent and the client.
    • 🗣️ Scripts vs. Sincerity: While others rely on elaborate sales scripts, Tiffany teaches agents to ask direct questions and get to the point. "Just ask for the appointment." This style helps clients make informed decisions faster.
    • 📘 Confidence to Close – The Book & Program: Tiffany is working on her book and coaching program under the same title. The book was initially due in March but is now publicly committed to being completed by June 17.
    • 🎯 Coaching Emphasis – Confidence Over Templates: Her curriculum includes mastering the listing presentation—not just reading from templates, but speaking with conviction. Confidence is what converts.

    Insights Based on Numbers
    • 18 years in salon ownership: Tiffany built a successful career before real estate.
    • 3-month book deadline extension: From March to June 17, showing public accountability.
    • 15+ direct coaching concepts: Including tone control, confidence building, and closing skills.
    • 7:00 AM weekly sessions: Women’s Wednesdays start early to empower with consistency.

  • "📘 Build Real Estate Wealth: The IDEAL System with Joel Miller"
    Apr 8 2025
    Summary
    • 🏠 Meet Joel Miller – 45+ Years of Wisdom: Joel Miller, author and real estate investor since 1978, shares his journey from mobile DJ to owning rental properties, flipping homes, and becoming a hard money lender. His book Build Real Estate Wealth is a 460+ page reference manual packed with 150+ checklists and practical strategies for beginners and experienced investors alike.
    • 📘 Why He Wrote the Book: Joel aims to empower readers who think real estate isn't for them—either because they’re too busy, afraid of "toilets and tenants," or just unsure where to start. The book walks through every step from mindset to tax strategy.
    • 🧠 Mindset Matters: The biggest hurdle? Thinking you need to know everything before getting started. Joel encourages early action: education removes fear, and progress is made in motion—not perfection.
    • 🔧 Tenants vs. Property Management: He distinguishes between tenant management (communication, selection, lease handling) and property maintenance (repairs, contractors). You don’t need to do everything yourself—just know who to call.
    • 📉 The ‘IDEAL’ Formula for Real Estate:
    • I – Income
    • D – Depreciation
    • E – Equity growth
    • A – Appreciation
    • L – Leverage
    • This is Joel’s nutshell summary of why real estate is a powerful investment vehicle.
    • 📑 Tactical Depth: The book includes checklists for everything—from tenant screening to negotiation tools, financial statements, due diligence, and even literal hand tools needed for basic property work.
    • 💼 Hard Money Lending & Mentorship: Though Joel doesn’t offer formal coaching, he mentors local investors through deal walkthroughs and classes. He’s deeply active in landlord associations and teaches Landlord 101 and 201.
    • 💡 Tax Advantages of Rentals:
    • Depreciation (non-cash write-offs)
    • Income isn’t subject to self-employment tax
    • Capital gains advantages
    • 1031 exchange deferrals
    • Step-up basis at inheritance = generational tax shelter
    • 🧭 Access & Action: Joel encourages action over analysis-paralysis. Instead of chasing seminar after seminar, buy the book, network locally, and start doing.
    • Legacy of Contribution: Joel’s focus now is providing value—locally through teaching, and nationally through the book. It’s his exclamation mark on a career that’s built wealth, shared wisdom, and changed lives.

  • 📈 Attract Clients Fast: Proven FACTS System
    Apr 1 2025
    Summary
    • 🎯 What is the FACTS System?
    • Jerome Lewis introduces the Fast Action Client Attraction Strategy (FACTS) — a proven 12-step system designed to help entrepreneurs, especially real estate professionals, attract clients, build authority, and implement effective marketing strategies fast.

    1. 🧠 Step 1 - Know Your Audience: Identify your ideal customer and create a detailed avatar. Understand their language, pain points, and desires. This foundational step informs everything else in your marketing.
    2. 📚 Step 2 - Lead Attraction Magnet: Develop a lead magnet using the “Truth Method.” Options include books (the top recommendation), checklists, free reports, videos, or eBooks. The book is emphasized as the most powerful due to its long-term value and authority-building effect.
    3. 📢 Step 3 - Ads and Outreach: Use Google, Facebook, or YouTube ads to reach new audiences. This is key when starting with no following. Your ad strategy must reflect your avatar's pain points and desires.
    4. ✍️ Step 4 - Main Sales Letter/Copy: Write clear sales copy that tells people exactly what action to take. Be specific and intentional in your calls to action—don’t leave people guessing.
    5. 🌐 Step 5 - Landing Page & Congratulations Email: Use distraction-free landing pages to convert better than platforms like Amazon. Replace “thank you” emails with “congratulations” messages to establish authority and celebrate client decisions.
    6. 📬 Step 6 - Follow-Up System: Develop a robust follow-up strategy. Jerome’s favorite? A monthly physical newsletter via direct mail. This creates differentiation and top-of-mind awareness in a crowded digital world.
    7. 🎁 Step 7 - Impressions That Stick: Deliver a “Shock & Awe” package—a professionally designed welcome box with books, planners, gifts, newsletters, etc. Start simple; version one is better than none.
    8. 📦 Step 8 - Placement in Customer Journey: Use the package at various stages: beginning, middle, or end of the client journey. It enhances relationships and positions you as a premium service provider.
    9. ✏️ Step 9 - Newsletter Strategy: Reiterate the importance of consistent newsletters. Regular communication builds trust, educates clients, and retains attention over time.
    10. 🧾 Step 10 - Sales Script: Maintain structured conversations using sales scripts. Scripts keep calls focused and effective without sounding robotic.
    11. 🛠️ Steps 11 & 12 - Custom Strategy Sessions: Tailor strategy sessions based on client needs—whether it’s goal-setting, launching a podcast, or creating a curriculum. These flexible sessions ensure support is highly personalized.
    12. 💡 Final Takeaway: Don’t wait for perfection. Start with what you have. Even Jerome’s first welcome package was a basic envelope. Just implement and improve over time.

    Insights Based on Numbers
    • 12-Step System: FACTS provides a structured roadmap from idea to implementation.
    • 2X Emphasis on Newsletters: Highlighted twice to stress long-term impact.
    • 3 Custom Coaching Cases: Podcasting, coaching curriculum, and goal-setting are just a few ways FACTS adapts to individual client goals.
